Definitions

  • ABSTRACT An assembly for internal biasing and axially retaining [451 Feb. 19, 1974 a constant velocity universal joint of the type having a cup-shaped member, a forked member, spindles received in rollers for rolling and sliding in races formed between the prongs of the forked member, the spindles being associated with a knoblike portion.
  • the assembly assures a constant biasing force for maintaining the contact between the knoblike portion and the closed inner end wall of the forked member.
  • the biasing force is exerted by a coil spring arranged between the knoblike portion and a retaining clip adapted to be secured onto the prongs of the forked member for effectively joining the cup-shaped member to the forked member.
  • a push member is provided having a spherical cavity for contact with the knoblike portion at one end and a portion with an enlarged polygonal crosssection at its other end which extends through a corresponding hole in the retaining clip when the anus are being secured to the prongs and retracted when the other end portion is in alignment with the hole in the clip for guiding thereon.
  • the apices of the portion having the polygonal cross-section latch the push member relative to the clip, and may be released by pivoting the forked member relative to the cup-shaped member which causes cam surfaces on the push member to rotate the push member into or out of alignment with the corresponding hole in the clip.
  • fingers with latching teeth may be provided with an equal number of corresponding holes in the clip.
  • the present invention concerns an internal baising assembly axially retaining couplings.
  • the invention relates to assembling constant velocity universal joints with three rollers used for transmitting torque between two shafts at relative fixed or variable angles up to 45.
  • the axial joining of the forked member to the cup-shaped member has been an operation difficult to carry out. Indeed, the joining is ensured by means of a three-arm star-shaped part enclosed in the cup-shaped member. After the part is secured in position, it must apply a biasing force of a predetermined value in the axial direction so that there is no possible relative axial displacement between the forked member and the cup-shaped member under the effect of the various forces thereon regardless of the tolerances of the parts in use in the axial connection.
  • the assembly according to the invention for a conventional constant velocity universal joint of the type comprising a forked member fixed to one of theshafts to be coupled and having three angularly spaced prongs with linear roller races therebetween in which three rollers may slide and roll on three spindles or journals arranged in a star pattern about a knoblike portion with two spherical surfaces and fixed to a cup-shaped member on a second shaft, the assembly comprising a push member, a spherical concave cavity at one end of said push member having three radial cut-outs with V- shaped edges, said cavity bearing on one of the spherical surfaces of said knoblike portion, said push member guided in opening(s) in a star-shaped retaining clip with three arms which are to be secured to the prongs of the forked member, a spring or other resilient means interposed between said retaining clip and a shoulder on the underside of the portion forming the cavity on the push member, the push member under the action of a biasing force maintaining contact between the
  • Said other end portion of the push member acts as an automatic internal loading means and has an enlarged polygonal cross-section for latching onto the retaining clip which may be unlatched to free the biasing spring, whereas before the loading, the end of the push member projects beyond the retaining; clip to enable it to bear against a member of the coupling for clicking the retaining clip into place on the forked member, and after loading the end portion of the push member is retracted thereby avoiding any possiblity of contact with the member. 7
  • cross-section of said other end portion of the push member and the corresponding openings in the retaining clip may be polygonal e.g. triangular, square,
  • the latching is effected by three finger portions having notches adapted to hook onto the retaining clip.
  • the push member is provided with a three-arm central portion having teeth adapted to latch onto the retaining clip.
  • FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a constant velocity universal joint with an assembly according to the invention shown in longitudinal section;
  • FIG. 2 illustrates additional means through which the kroblike portion is effectively brough into contact with the closed inner end wall of the forked member
  • FIG. 3 shows an end view of the coupling of FIG. 1, the cup-shaped member being removed
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 show two different polygonal sections for the other end portion of the push member
  • FIG. 6 illustrates the manner of securing the lugs of I the retaining member on the arms of the forked member
  • FIG. '7 shows the combination in the latched position of the push member
  • FIG. 8 shows the rotational movement to be effected in order to latch or unlatch the push member from the interior with the rollers and spindles removed;

  • FIG. 12 shows an alternative member
  • FIG. 13 shows a further alternative embodiment of the push member
  • FIGS. 14 and 15 show the latching of the push memher on the retaining clip.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates in section an assembled constant velocity universal joint which allows a large angular displacement between the two shafts iit couples.
  • the joint comprises a forked member 1 with three angularly tion 9 of the closed inner end wall of the forked member 1 either directly or through the intermediary of a friction element 10 (FIG. 2) having a concave surface 11.
  • the push member 13 is provided with a portion 15 guided by an opening 16-cut in a resilient retaining clip 17 (FIG. 3) with three arms.
  • a resilient retaining clip 17 (FIG. 3) with three arms.
  • an enlarged end portion having the same crosssection as the opening 16 in the guiding zone so as to ensure the holding of the push member relative to the retaining clip while leaving it the freedom of sliding and oscillatory movement.
  • the opening 16 in the retaining clip 17 and the crosssection of the enlarged end portion of the push member may be triangular as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, square, hexagonal, or circular with a toothed periphery as shown in FIG. 5. Any shape of cut-out or opening capable of effecting the guiding and latching of the retaining member may be adopted.
  • the securing of the retaining clip is effected by the lugs 18 forming a continuation of the arms of the retaining clip 17 and bent back parallel to the axis of the push member 13.
  • the lugs 18 of theresilient retaining clip 17 are designed to be anchored radially in slots 19 formed in each prong 2 of the forked member 1 (FIGS. 1 and 6).
  • a helical spring 20 or any other resilient means such as Belleville or corrugated washers are interposed and guided on the portion 15 of the push member.
  • the resilient means ensures the axial biasing against a knoblike portion 6 which is thereby held axially in position by the engagement of the spherical surface 7 with the flat surface 9 of the closed inner end wall of the forked member 1.
  • the wall of the cup-shaped member 21 and the forked member I prevent access which would otherwise enable the three lugs 18 of the retaining clip 17 to be grabbed simultaneously andheld with a force sufficient to overcome the force of the spring 20 and with a precision to enable the lugsto be secured in the slots 19 in the prongs 2 of the forked member 1 (FIG. 6).
  • the assembly functions as follows:
  • FIGS. 7 and 8 illustrate the constant velocity universal joint ready to be assembled.
  • the spring 20 is compressed as much as possible between the shoulder fonned at the underside of the cavity 12 and the retaining clip 17 by means of the angular displacement of the enlarged triangular portion of the element 15 relative to the hole 16 in the retaining clip (FIG. 8).
  • Abutments or latching teeth are formed by the apices 22 of the enlarged triangular end portion of the push member 13.
  • the end surface 23 of the end portion of the push member extends beyond the outer surface of the retaining clip 17 in this position.
  • the cup-shaped member 21 In order to easily assemble, it is merely necessary to arrange the cup-shaped member 21 with its opened end facing upwards, position the retaining clip 17 so that its lugs 18 are disposed facing the slots 19 in the prongs of the forked member 1 and then drive the forked member axially towards the cup-shaped member.
  • the end surface 23 of the push member 13 comes to bear against the closed inner end wall 24 of the cup-shaped member 21 and maintains the retaining clip 17 he means of the teeth apices 22.
  • the lugs 18 on the retaining clip slide along the conical surfaces 25 on the forked member 1 until the ends of the' three lugs18 of the retaining member click into position into the slots 19 as shown in FIG. 6.
  • the push member 13 and the retaining clip 17 may be considered as fixed relative to one another in view of the force the spring 20 exerts against each through the intermediary of the teeth or apices 22. Consequently, the outer edge surfaces 26 (FIG. 7) assure a guiding which favors the simultaneous clicking into place of the three lugs of the retaining clip.
  • the proper positioning of the retaining clip is thereby easily and securely effected with a minimum of axial force being exerted to overcome the resilient radial force of the lugs 19 of the retaining clip.
  • the shafts In order for the initial biasing force of the spring 20 to be exerted against the spherical surface 8, the shafts must be angularly displaced relative to each other while the spindles 5 or the rollers 4 bear against the surfaces of the radial V-shaped cut-outs 14 on the push-member 13. These surfaces act as camming surfaces and cause the push member 13 to be angularly displaced relative to the retaining clip 17 as shown in FIG. 9. Thus the teeth 22 (FIG. 8) move out of engagement, and the spring 20 expands until the push member 13 comes into abutting relationship with the spherical surface 8.
  • the portion 15 is simultaneously retracted leaving a space between its end surface 23 and the closed inner end wall of the cup-shaped member 21 thereby allowing the angular clearance of the constant velocity joint.
  • the knoblike portion 6 is thus axially maintained by the contact of its spherical surface 7 against the closed inner end wall 9 of the forked member 1 and by the force the spherical cavity 12 exerts against the spherical surface 8.
  • a no-clearance retaining assembly is thus effected having a predetermined biasing force independant of inaccuracies in the machining of the component parts.
  • the coupling is disassembled by freeing the lugs 18 from the slots 19 (FIG. 6) by means of a screwdriver.
  • the compressing of the spring 20 required for the reassembly of the joint is carried out with the forked member removed by pulling simultaneously on the three lugs 18 of the retaining member 17 outwardly along the axis of the cup-shaped member, then by slightly rotating which angularly displaces the portion 15 of the push member 13 relative to the opening in the retaining member as shown in dash-dotted .lines in FIG. 8. After removing the'pulling force the teeth maintain spring 20 in its compressed position by bearing against 3 the portion of the retaining clip defining the triangular hole 16.
  • the forked member is then re-assembled easily and without requiring the application of any force as de scribed above.
  • FIGS. and 11 illustrate an alternative embodiment in which the push member 27 instead of having portion (FIG. 1) is provided with three finger portions 28 with notched teeth 29 which are secured onto the retaining clip 31 during assembly and slidable after assembly in three holes 30 angularly spaced by 120 and formed in the retaining clip.
  • the finger portions 28 are generally rectangular in cross section and similar to the section of the openings 30 in the retaining clip as illustrated in FIGS. Ill, 14 and 15.
  • This embodiment functions in substantially the same way as described above.
  • FIG. 12 shows another alternative embodiment in which the push member 32 combines the features of the two preceding embodiments, that is, it comprises a guiding element 33 with a latching notched tooth 33a at its end and three arms 34. which are mainly intended to act as stable bearing supports against the closed inner end wall of the cup-shaped member while the retaining clip into position on the forked member.
  • FIG. 13 shows a further alternative embodiment in which the knoblike portion 6 supporting the spindles 5 is axially retained by annular discs or sleeves 7 and 7' with a planar internal surface 35 and spherical external surface 36.
  • the push member 37 has either three finger portions 28 with teeth 29, guiding element with teeth or the combination of three finger portions and a portion as in F lGS. l2 and 7 respectively.
  • a supplementary radial guiding is provided by the contact of the spherical surfaces 39 in the closed inner wall M) of the forked member.
